PAIN: TAROT will join European tour

NUCLEAR BLAST has issued the following update:

Finnish metallers TAROT (featuring Marco Hietala of NIGHTWISH fame) will join the European tour of the Swedish industrial metallers PAIN, led by iconic producer/musician Peter Tägtgren.

Marco Hietala has issued the following statement:
TAROT has a great privilege and an opportunity to follow Saint Peter and his disciples in PAIN on their European tour through 5.10.-2.11. 2011. This is a last chance to see us promote the album “The Spell Of Iron MMXI”, and play live before I get active with NIGHTWISH again. We´re gonna be warming up for PAIN, and the first half of the tour we´re going to be joined with our home town boys from TURMION KÄTILÖT. So far we´re planning to change the opener of the shows every other night. So if you want to be sure to see TAROT perform, you should come early enough. Otherwise you are in danger of losing a seriously enjoyable ass whipping. With all the possible bad but nice intentions! Marco Hietala.
